Futures Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I, I always believed in futures
I hope for better in November
I try the same losing lucky numbers
It could be a cold night for a lifetime
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey now, you can't keeping saying endlessly
My darling, how long until this affects me?
[Chorus]
Say hello to good times
(Say hello)
Trade up for the fast ride
(We close our eyes)
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
[Verse 2]
I, I always could count on futures
That things would look up, and they look up
Why is it so hard to find a balance between living decent and the cold and real?
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey now, what is it you think you see?
My darling, now's the time to disagree
[Chorus]
Say hello to good times
(Say hello)
Trade up for the fast ride
(We close our eyes)
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
[Bridge]
Hey now, the past is told by those who win
My darling, what matters is what hasn't been
Hey now, we're wide awake and we're thinking
My darling, believe your voice can mean something
[Chorus]
Say hello to good times
(Say hello)
Trade up for the fast ride
(We close our eyes)
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
Just Tonight… Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was scared but once I thought about, I let it go
Everything she said to me I guess I ought to know
We're all tired talk when it comes to shove
Put up, put out or stay at home
[Chorus]
We'll never be the same, never feel this way again
I'd give you anything but you want pain
A little water please, I taste you all over my teeth
Never again. Just tonight? Okay
[Verse 2]
All at once the music stopped, the feeling went away
An ugly picture, me and you, but nothing I can change
You know what happens with the lights back on
The less you know the more you want
You want, you want
[Chorus]
We'll never be the same, never feel this way again
I'd give you anything but you want pain
A little water please, I taste you all over my teeth
Never again. Just tonight? Okay
We'll never be the same, never feel this way again
I'd give you anything but you want pain
A little water please, I taste you all over my teeth
Never again. Just tonight? Okay
We'll never be the same, never feel this way again
We'll never be the same, never feel this way again
We'll never be the same, never feel this way again
Never again. Just tonight? Okay
Work Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you only once would let me
Only just one time
Then be happy with the consequence
With whatever's going to happen tonight
Don't think we're not serious
When's it ever not?
The love we make is give and it's take
I'm game to play along
[Pre-Chorus]
All I can say I shouldn't say
[Chorus]
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time
[Verse 2]
All the best DJs are saving their slowest song for last
When the dance is through, it's me and you
Come on, would it really be so bad?
The things we think might be the same
But I won't fight for more
It's just not me to wear it on my sleeve
Count on that for sure
[Pre-Chorus]
All I can say I shouldn't say
[Chorus]
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time
You want to take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time
Yeah, we still have time
[Bridge]
I can't say I was never wrong
But some blame rests on you
Work and play, they're never okay to mix the way we do
[Pre-Chorus]
All I can say, I shouldn't say
[Chorus]
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time
You want to take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time
And we still have time
Kill Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well you're just across the street
Looks a mile to my feet
I want to go to you
Funny how I'm nervous still
I've always been the easy kill
I guess I always will
[Chorus 1]
Could it be that everything goes round by chance?
Or only one way that it was always meant to be
You kill me, you always know the perfect thing to say
Hey hey, hey hey
I know what I should do but I just can't walk away
[Verse 2]
I can picture your face well from the bar in my hotel
I wish I'd go to you
I'll pick up, put down the phone
Like your favorite Heatmiser song goes
"It's just like being alone."
[Chorus 2]
Oh god, please don't tell me this has been in vain
I need answers for what all the waiting I've done means
You kill me, you've got some nerve but can't face your mistakes
Hey hey, hey hey
I know what I should do but I just can't turn away
[Bridge]
So go on, love
Leave while there's still hope for escape
Gotta take what you can these days
There's so much ahead and so much regret
I know what you want to say
I know it but can't help feeling differently
I loved you and I should have said it
But tell me just what has it ever meant?
[Chorus 3]
I can't help it baby, this is who I am
Sorry, sorry, but I can't just go turn off how I feel
You kill me, you build me up but just to watch me break
Hey hey, hey hey
I know what I should do but I just can't walk away
The World You Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got a story, it's almost finished
Now all I need is someone to tell it to
Maybe that's you
Our time is borrowed and spent too freely
Every minute I have needs to be made up
But how?
I'm looking for a nice way to say, "I'm out."
I want out
[Verse 2]
I fall asleep with my friends around me
Only place I know, I feel safe
I'm gonna call this home
The open road is still miles away
Hey, nothing serious
We still have our fun
Oh, we had it once
[Pre-Chorus]
But windows open and close
That's just how it goes
[Chorus]
Don't it feel like sunshine after all?
The world we love, forever gone
We're only just as happy as everyone else seems to think we are
[Verse 3]
I'm in love with the ordinary
I need a simple space
To rest my head
Then everything gets clear
Well I'm a little ashamed for asking
But just a little helps
It gets me straight again
Helps me get over it, over it
[Pre-Chorus]
It might seem like a dream
But it's real to me
[Chorus]
Don't it feel like sunshine after all?
The world we loved, forever gone
We're only just as happy as everyone else seems to think we are
[Verse 4]
You should see the canals are freezing
You should see me high
You should just be here
Be with me here
It doesn't seem there's hope for me
I let you down
But I won't give in now
Not for any amount
[Chorus]
Don't it feel like sunshine after all?
The world we love, forever gone
We're only just as happy as everyone else thinks
Now, don't that feel like sunshine after all?
The world we love, forever gone
We're only just as happy as everyone else seems to think we are
Pain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't feel the way I've ever felt
I know
Gonna smile and not get worried
I try but it shows
[Pre-Chorus]
Anyone can make what I have built and better now
Anyone can find the same white pills
It takes my pain away
[Chorus]
It's a lie, a kiss with open eyes
And she's not breathing back
Anything but bother me
(It takes my pain away)
Never mind, these are hurried times
Oh, oh, oh
I can't let it bother me
[Verse 2]
I never thought I'd walk away from you
I did
But it's a false sense of accomplishment every time I quit
[Pre-Chorus]
Anyone can see my every flaw
It isn't hard
Anyone can say they're above this all
It takes my pain away
[Chorus]
It's a lie, a kiss with open eyes
And she's not breathing back
Anything but bother me
(It takes my pain away)
Never mind these are hurried times
Oh, oh, oh
I can't let it bother me
I can't let it bother me
It takes my pain away
[Chorus]
It's a lie, a kiss with open eyes
And she's not breathing back
Anything but bother me
(It takes my pain away)
Never mind, these are hurried times
Oh, oh, oh
I can't let it bother me
[Outro]
Takes my pain
Takes my pain
Takes my pain
Takes my pain away
Drugs or Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stay with me
You're the one I need
You make the hardest things seem easy
Keep my heart somewhere drugs don't go
Where the sunshine slows
Always keep me close
[Chorus]
If only you could see the stranger next to me
You promise, you promise that you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs
[Verse 2]
Don't let go
We'll dig a great big hole
Down an endless hole we'll both go
You're so blind!
You can't save me this time
Hope comes from inside and I feel so low tonight
[Chorus]
If only you could see the stranger next to me
You promise, you promise that you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs
I wish that you could see this face in front of me
You're sorry, you swear it, you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs
[Bridge]
(Take me) I need your hands
(So far away) To pull me up
(Take me) Out from me
(So far) Out from me
[Chorus]
(Take me) If only you could see (I need your hands)
(So far away) The stranger next to me (to pull me up, take the wheel)
(Take me) You promise, you promise that you're done (out from me)
(So far) But I can't tell you from the drugs (out from me)
I wish that you could see (I need your hands)
This face in front of me (to pull me up)
(Take me) You're sorry you swear it you're done (out from me)
But I can't tell you from the drugs (out from me)
[Outro]
Keep my heart somewhere drugs don't go
Where the sunshine slows
Always keep me close
Polaris Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll say it straight and plain
I know I've made mistakes
I've always been afraid
(I've always been afraid)
A thousand nights or more
I travel east and north
But please answer the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you tell me?
[Chorus]
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me
[Verse 2]
Get down on your knees
Whisper what I need
Something pretty
(Something pretty)
I feel that when I'm old
I'll look at you and know the world was beautiful
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you tell me
[Chorus]
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me
[Bridge]
I'm done, there's nothing left to show
I try but can't let it go
Are you happy where you're standing still?
Do you really want the sugar pill?
I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll start
Tonight it feels so hard
As the train approaches Gare Du Nord
As I'm sure your kiss remains employed
Am I only dreaming?
[Chorus]
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me
[Outro]
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me
Nothingwrong Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hold them down, our bleeding suspects
(Just because, just 'cause, just who are you?)
Like candle light, burn burn burn, baby
(Burn, burn, whose turn, who gets a taste today?)
[Chorus]
We've done nothing wrong
But we've done nothing
We can't look away
But we're just looking
It's second nature to say
"Hey hey hey, we've done nothing wrong!"
[Verse 2]
Turn them off, our blacklist singers
(Don't ask why, don't cry, don't make a scene)
A forty-five, spin spin spin, give in
(Spin spin, who wins, who's not afraid to play?)
[Chorus]
We've done nothing wrong
But we've done nothing
We can't look away
But we're just looking
It's second nature to say
Hey hey hey, we've done nothing but
[Bridge]
Nothing but take what's handed down
Said nothing but words approved to shout
We want to know that we own the cake we're eating
Spit it out!
Out, out
[Verse 3]
Hold them down (burn, burn)
Hold them down our bleeding suspects
Turn them off (turn, turn)
Turn them off our blacklist singers
[Chorus]
We've done nothing wrong
But we've done nothing
We can't look away
But we're just looking
It's second nature to say
"Hey hey hey, we've done nothing wrong!"
[Outro]
We've done nothing wrong!
We've done nothing wrong!
Night Drive Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lay back, baby, and we'll do this right
There's blankets in back we can use
I'll start the car, but we'll stay in park
The cold can kill us before fumes
Now's the right time for a good song
Got something to say what I can't
Do you feel bad like I feel bad?
We'll pour us a road, we'll both drink and drive
[Chorus]
Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me, I can take your cheap shot
Leave you with the love we made
[Verse 2]
Come alive on the driver's side
So close I taste your breath
Your lips go dry, but there's sweet inside
Wine must go right to your head
It'd be easy if you get mad
But three fingers point back to you
We could stay here, stay out all night
No one will know, us and the moonlight
[Chorus]
Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me, I can take your cheap shot
Leave you with the love we made
[Bridge]
I set my watch by a street-side clock
A needle in echo groove
You pierce my heart like a willing arm
Your ticking makes my blood move
There's no way out this fade out
Be happy to get what you do
Make him notice with both fists
'Cause quitting alone will never get you dry
Never get you dry
[Chorus]
Give me everything you've got now
I don't feel a single thing
Drag me out into the cold rain
Let it hover over me
Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me, I can take your cheap shot
Leave you with the love we made
(Hit me, I can take your cheap shot)
Leave you with the love we made
(Hit me, I can take your cheap shot)
Leave you with the love we made
23 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I felt for sure last night that once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I'm still driving away and I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live not stopping
[Verse 2]
It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you
[Chorus]
You'll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here, I'm now, I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
[Verse 3]
Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets
[Chorus]
You'll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here, I'm now, I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You'll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here, I'm now, I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
You'll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here, I'm now, I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
Shame Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is it dark yet outside?
I'm through hiding tonight
[Chorus]
Take from the rest, your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame
[Verse 2]
It might take you all night
But you'll love me with time
[Chorus] x2
[Verse 1]
[Chorus] x2
When I Want Lyrics
[Chorus]
Please let's not get into this tonight
See it's easy and it's what you like
Don't call me foolish because I'm not
Just be the lover when I want
If I'm hated well it's not my fault I swear
[Verse 1]
Now don't you go think it's love?
How did you think that's where I'm coming from?
Don't call me foolish because I'm not
Just be the lover when I want
If I'm hated well it's not my fault I swear
I swear
I swear
I swear
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Don't call me foolish girl I'm not
Be the lover when I want
If you hate me well it's not my fault I swear
[Outro]
I swear
